To display a menu or sub-menu, press button (1). This button is also used to exit or close an application (with exceptions to Qur’an and Islamic Library applications – see application part for more details).

6.3 Navigation (Part ID - 4 & 5)

When a menu is displayed, press either button (4) to go up or button (5) to go down. For screens which require field input or screen navigation, these buttons can be used to toggle (previous or next) between each entry fields or screen accordingly.

6.4 Select/Play/Pause (Part ID - 6)

To select an item from the menu or to accept/commit an entry press button (6) once. On certain applications which play audio, this button can also be used to either play or pause the audio i.e. Qur’an application and Islamic Library application.

6.5 Vol+/Vol-/Field Entry Selection (Part ID – 2 & 3)

For applications which play audio, these buttons are used for volume control – press button (2) to increase the volume and button (3) to decrease. For applications which require user input (for example setting the date), pressing button (2) or (3) will toggle between the input values within the focused field. These buttons also have special uses in certain applications – see application part for more details.

7. Charging

The device has a high performance built-in rechargeable battery which will require charging depending on the frequency of usage (high usage of audio playing applications will require charging more often than others). Keep the device charged to an acceptable level after excessive usage.

To charge the device; (use the charging cable provided) connect the cable ends (should fit each ports) to the DC adapter port and the charging port of the device (Part ID - 8). Then plug the DC adapter to the main power supply accordingly. [Alternatively, you can use the cable connected to a PC with USB port and charge without DC adapter].

7.1 Battery Performance

To insure that you get better performance from the battery, please make sure you have the power saver options set accordingly (see settings application).

We recommend that you set the power saver – standby time to 5 minutes. This means that if there device is inactive for this period (main screen), it will automatically switch off.

Note: Try not to charge the device unless the power is very low. Excessive charging can harm the battery life span and also affect the performance (long term).

7.2 Battery Low Indicator

When the device is very low on battery power, then a “battery low” message will display on the screen and the device will switch off automatically.

PLAYNETICS

PLAYNETICSPLAYNETICS

PLAYNETICS™

Al-Mu’allim AM-RD2 Users Guide

The backup battery inside the device will retain time/date information for a limited time period only. Therefore, we recommend that the device be charged as soon as possible.

Note: All bookmarks and setting information are maintained even without battery power.

7.3 Battery Charging Indicator

When the charging starts, an animated battery image is displayed on screen indicating the current charge status. When the battery is fully charged, the image will flash on/off continuously.

If you wish to use the device while it is in charging mode, then press the menu button (Part ID - 1) to exit. This will take you to the main screen which also has a battery indicator with charging status. You can then use the device as normal while it is charging in the background.

8. Main Screen

When the device is first powered on, the following main screen is displayed (we have kept this very simple with main attention being on the date/time display):

prayer is Maghrib. 5 Time Remaining For Next Prayer 6 Prayer Alert Indicator

Note: If the power saver mode is active and if the main screen is in display without any user activity (default 5 minutes), the device will shut down automatically to save battery life. No information will be lost as a result of this action.

9. Settings Application

The settings application controls the general operation of device and the applications which runs on it by allowing the user to configure and customize features according to their requirements and individual taste.

9.1 Language

Use this option to change the system language (Arabic, English & French). Once set; it will automatically update the user interface (main menu, list, text fields etc.) to that selected language (multi-lingual UI support).

9.2 Date & Time

This option sets the systems date and time. It is IMPORTANT that the date and time is set correctly so that certain applications within the system operates correctly (i.e. prayer times, calendar etc). Please follow the steps outlined bellow in order to set the date.

9.2.1 Set Date When setting the date, the following screen will be displayed prompting the user to enter the current date:

The format for date entry is [day/month/year] as shown on the above diagram. Notice that the first field (day) is highlighted initially. Pressing the field entry buttons (Part ID’s – 2 & 3) will increase or decrease field number value accordingly. For example, to set the day to 03, press button (Part ID – 2) two times. See section 6.5.

PLAYNETICS

PLAYNETICSPLAYNETICS

PLAYNETICS™

Al-Mu’allim AM-RD2 Users Guide

Use buttons (Part ID – 4 & 5) to move between the fields (day/month/year) as explained on section 6.3. Once the date is correctly set, press the button (Part ID – 6) to accept/commit the changes as explained on section 6.4. This will then update all the applications that rely on the system date.

9.2.2 Set Time The format for time entry is [hours/minutes/seconds]. Follow the guidelines as explained for setting the date (above) in order to set the time.

9.2.3 Format & Daylight Saving These options are used to set the time to either 24hour display or normal 12hour display. It also allows you to set the daylight saving (DLS) which are used by countries which observe time difference of +1 hours during the summer season.

Use the field entry, navigation and selection guidelines (sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5) to set the values for these options. This will then update all the applications that rely on this information. Note: Field value YES turns the option on and NO turns it off.

9.3 Location & Methods

These are the most important options for configuring the location and methods used to calculate the correct prayer times and quibla directions towards makkah.

9.3.1 Automatic This is the most easiest way of configuring the locations and methods by means of simply selecting the country and then the city using the guidelines (sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5).

Note: If you find that your city is not listed in the country listings, then you must use the customization option.

9.3.2 Customize (Advanced) This option can be used to configure location and methods for ANYWHERE in the world (over 6.1 million cities). We recommend that you only use this option only if the city is missing from the automatic option.

PLAYNETICS

PLAYNETICSPLAYNETICS

PLAYNETICS™

Al-Mu’allim AM-RD2 Users Guide

There are 5 parts to the customisation process (as displayed above) for location and methods. Please refer to the guidelines (sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5) in order to enter the values for each field.

NOTE: PLEASE CONTACT PLAYNETICS (SUPPORT) WITH YOUR LOCATION DETAIL AND WE WILL ASSIST/SEND YOU THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TOGETHER WITH TUTORIALS ON HOW TO ENTER THE CORRECT VALUES FOR THESE FIELDS.

9.3.3 Safety Times This feature is most useful when you wish to match the prayer times with your local mosque (also useful during the holy month of Ramadan). For each prayer times (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha) you can add or deduct minutes based on your requirement (range: +120min to -120min).

For example, if the prayer time for Maghrib is 6:24PM and you wish to add 60 minutes to this time, then you would set the Maghrib safety time to 60 so the time that will be displayed now will be 7:24PM. However; if you wish to deduct 20 minutes from this time then you would set the Maghrib safety time to -20 which will now make the time display as 6:04PM.

Please refer to the guidelines (sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5) in order to enter the values for each field.

9.3.4 Prayer Alert As discussed on section 8, the main screen displays the prayer alert indicator (icon at the top right corner of the main screen). When this option is set, then an audio “athan” will be played 1 minute before the actual prayer time starts.

Note: If the device is in standby mode, it will start-up automatically and play the audio “athan”.

When the audio is played the following screen is shown:

9.6 Power Saver

When there are no activity from the user (while on the main screen), the device automatically senses this and goes into standby mode and switches off (in order to save battery life). This option is used to set the standby time in minutes for this action.

Note: Setting the value to 0 will disable this feature. We recommend that the value be set to 5 minutes.

Please refer to the guidelines (sections 6.4 and 6.5) in order to increase or decrease the slider value for the standby time.

9.7 About Al-Mu’allim

Please consult this when you want to determine the model number and version of the product.

10. Qur’an Application

This application uses legally licensed audio voice of Sheik Mashari Rashid Al-Afasy which in our opinion is the best in the world. This is also the first time we use our very own (advanced) uthmanic engine for the display of Arabic text in the Qur’an.
